“…Will Become…”

“but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

John 4:14

 

If you read through the Bible there are a couple of phrases

you will run across from time to time.

These phrases are: “…in due season…” and “…in the fullness of time…”

Like it or not God has a timetable for His purposes.

Most often we are anxious about that because His timing never seems to match ours.

Today’s scripture includes the words “…will become…”

Those two words imply a process; something that will happen over time!

That spring of water starts out as a drop but as we grow in relationship with Him and remain in Him, it becomes that spring of water welling up to eternal life.

We often agree with the promise that God’s plans for us are good.

But then the struggle to rest in Him as He works those plans in us begins.

Forget about due season or the fullness of time – we want it N-O-W!

Resting and trusting in God can be one of the hardest things we do.

Everybody has advice about what we should be doing.

We hear God calling us to sit as His feet for a while like Mary,

but we see Martha toiling away and just can’t sit still and let her do all the work!

Instead of resting in the season God has brought us into, we step into another person’s season and find ourselves laboring when He has called us to rest.

I don’t want to miss the ‘dues seasons’, the ‘fullness of times’ and the ‘will becomes’ God has for me.  

I don’t want you to miss them either.

Learn to rest and trust God, waiting for Him to bring to pass His perfect plans for you!
